World’s Most Expensive Aquarium

For those who like their pets to be seen and not heard or touched or cleaned up after when they’ve done a number on the new carpet, fish seem like an obvious choice. After all, these pets don’t need to be petted, taken outside or disciplined in any way. As for cleaning the tank and changing the water, well, the more expensive your aquarium, the less of that you’ll have to do.

The most expensive aquarium in the world is the Aquavista Dinosaur Gold Edition Aquarium by Aquavista and luxury goods designer Stuart Hughes. This extravagant wall-mounted aquarium is made with around 150 lbs of gold and gets its name from the mammoth tusk side veneers with Tyrannosaurus Rex bone shaved in. The aquarium is available in various sizes from 5 feet to 10 feet wide and, best of all, includes a host of features like an automatic feeder, dual filtration system, heater, air pump, lighting and CO2 generator that reduce the necessary maintenance to a negligible fifteen minutes every month.

Only three of these handmade luxury aquariums will be produced and sold at the appropriately eye-popping price of $4.8 million.
